Looking for a new designer to obsess over? Well, pay attention to this February's fall 2014 collections at New York Fashion Week, because men's design duo Duckie Brown are about to launch a capsule collection of 10 menswear-inspired women's looks. According to a report in WWD, the new women's pieces will be constructed from the same palette and fabrications as the men's collection. "Duckie Brown has always been inspired by traditional men's tailoring," co-designer Daniel Silver told the paper, "and, as designers, we're always inspired by women's wear.

Head on over to Style.com for more of this latex-covered Elizabethan fantasy world. Fascinating: Next up, we have a Jonas Brothers sighting at the Richard Chai Love show. I mention it, because I sat across from them and noticed a level of excitement from the ladies in the audience that I thought had since passed. I guess I was wrong. It turns out they've still got it! Long live 2008! SAY WHAT?! You've got to love Nicki Minaj, who, incidentally, seems to love herself! Just check out her smartphone case. It's a picture of herself! She was spotted sitting next to Katie Cassidy at the Herve Leger show, snapping runway photos. Honestly, this picture just read more
